Casey Affleck became a weather masochist while shooting The Finest Hours
The movie is set on Cape Cod.
Casey Affleck stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Wednesday to promote his new movie The Finest Hours. The film, if you’ve seen the trailer, follows the true story of a Coast Guard rescue off the coast of Cape Cod during a 1952 nor’easter.
Though The Finest Hours was shot in 3D and has loads of special effects, the on-set depiction of heavy rain, wind, and cold was clearly harrowing; Affleck admitted his experience shooting the movie was both “fun’’ and “terrible.’’
“It’s so bad that you kind of get used to it, you get hooked on it. I got hooked on it,’’ Affleck said.
“On the rain?’’ Kimmel asked.
“On just how barbaric it was, and how horrible it was,’’ Affleck said. “And then after the movie’s over, I was taking cold showers in the morning. I needed it a little bit. Is that weird?’’
Kimmel said, “It’s very weird.’’
Massachusetts weather, you guys. Can you ever really learn to love it? (No.)
